Post by: Sukasa on February 26, 2009, 10:53:26 PM
...You get some very interesting emails, Amber o_O.  I have to laugh at yours and Fluffy's expressions in the second (third?) panel.  do you get emails like this often?

EDIT: bah, accidentally submitted too early.

Verily.  We need to figure out who this Caleb is.  And how someone mistook him for a DMFA character.

No clue. The Wikipedia article's no help at all. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caleb)

Still, I love your Questions From The Readers, Amber. And it sucks that your mice seem to hate you.

EDIT: Besides, Vampires are extinct. (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_510.php) We all know that.

... not only do we need to figure out who this Caleb is... i think we should kill him...

why do we kill this vampire, 2 reason, #1, they're supposed to be extinct... he is violating the scientific definition of extinction... and therefore must be put in line...

#2... it'll be amusing...

pfahahahahahahaha. Nice break from the drama.

I don't remember for certain, as I wasn't an avid fan, but I seem to recall a "Caleb" as an important late series villian in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (There's also Kaleb from Alcritas's arc, but that's even more obscure and spelled differently)

When I deleted my fan comic I re colored, edited, and  re named Abel Caleb... However,  I only kept the first three pages since it  more or less actually happened but still I don't understand why or how  there could be  confusion related to that since it was only used as a filler.

EDIT: I have no vampires...as of yet

also this could be CVRPG confusion or Last resort confusion since they have vampies.

Maybe we can have Abel do it... I mean, they both have biblical names... seems only right... would have been better if the reader had asked for Cain though.

"Gabriel?"
"Gabriella. It's a long story."
"Save it for someone who cares."
"Is that any way to greet an old friend?"
"Things have changed, but I don't need to tell you that."
"I have to go with you. Find out what's going on."
"You're not my type."
"Looked in the mirror lately? You're no cat yourself."

Dark... Caleb doesn't exist yet, and he's already earned himself a lethal does of ire from myself...

i don't know when he'll get involved, but rest assured, when he does, he's getting an injection of silver-nitrate and garlic extract... (because as a soon to be doctor, i have to kill people in doctor like ways)

Clearly a 200-page backstory is not enough for some people. TBH, I'm quite happy with it. The only thing that could make me happier is if it updated more without losing quality. However, that would probably kill Amber after about a week of doing that (even if she is a gangstah), and that would most certainly not make anyone involved happy.

first thing i thought of, but that Caleb's not a vampire, technically speaking, he's either undead, immortal, or whatever.

@Amber-Rant: Is there anything you can do in the interim?.. Borrow/Cobble together a workable PC to do you until you're more prepared to spend funds on a more functional piece of hardware?
That said: does your tablet still function? or did that go like the mice, too? you use that as an somewhat awkward replacement for a mouse.

I am now going to copy and paste his image into every single DMFA comic, as he is the best DMFA character.

If that's Caleb, then I'm afraid that I must list him under the heading of Those Who Need to Die Deaths Too Painful and Horrible for Wildy...   :erk

I too could have a popular fae-dragon mix that everyone just wanted to cuddle and love to pieces.

Too bad my awsome character would be laying about in a vegitive state for twenty-one years and twenty-one days before spontaneously dropping dead, since Hollows have no souls...

Caleb isn't a cameo, by the way. He's been around since the very beginning, as you can see from these strips:

Strip 1 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v434/Zinacat/Vol01.jpg)
Strip 377 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v434/Zinacat/Vol377.jpg)

Strip 858 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v434/Zinacat/Vol858.jpg)


Why, he was even in Abel's Story. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v434/Zinacat/Abel99.jpg)

The references to the tablet are old enough that it may have been a PS/2 or serial one.  She may now have a USB-only system.

most modern ATX boards by definition still have PS/2 points i think, and from what i can tell, Amber's not exactly running a brand spanking new PC here.

hrm, i guess a simple way to eliminate the mouse question would be to try said mice on a different system, that may have been tried already, i dunno, if they work fine on the other PC, then it might be the mobo itself, something funky may have gone down with the CMOS settings or whatnot.

i'd suggest more, but i'm pretty sure most, if not all plausible avenues have been explored in this case. Short of Amber getting/Cannibalizing/purchasing another PC, i'm fresh outta ideas.

Personally i'd just back everything up that was worth backing up, nuke the partitions, and start from scratch and see if that works, but that's a time consuming and rather annoying process.

Back on Topic: Zina, i never noticed that before, how could i miss out on that much awesome!  :3

More directly, the problem with the tablet is I haven't had it for over a year as I gave it away to a friend taking art school who had shown a lot more interest in using it than I ever did in the years I owned it.

The problem with going out and buying the cheapest mouse I can find is that even if it does fix the issue, I likely will still have to buy yet another mouse.  The whole problem with colouring with a mouse is that low-mouse quality does play a factor.  It isn't so bad for the average internets surfing and clicking and whatnot...but when you are trying to use it to fine-lasso something in Photoshop, having the mini wibbles in your movement is terrible. 


That said, I still get giggles over this mail.  I have gotten a lot of people who mispell their "favorite" characters names. (Dan's been called David. Jyrras has been called Jyrass, Jarvis, Gyros.  Lorenda has been called Laurie.)  This is the first one that I can recall that actually was so far off and vague I have had a hard time pinning it down. It didnt help the person didnt use a single point of punctuation the entire time.

I'm open to the possibilities that there are parallel universes each connected by the information super highway, so there is the possibility that this one e-mail slipped through the barrier of time and space to annoy Amber...surely in a parallel dimension the other Amber is complaining or asking about  Abel.

I googled "comic vampire Caleb" and got here:  http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Caleb-(Buffy-the-Vampire-Slayer)  So I'm guessing somebody's really confused.

Well, crud.  Amber's second to last post just destroyed my theory of "She's making it up to watch us go bananas over nothing, Evil Author Style".  'Course, she COULD still be making her post up to do just that....and cause  ME to go bananas over if she is or isnt'   Which she is.  Or isn't?    :U

Amber is actually the Bad Wolf.

She creates herself. She scatters the forum posts and posters throughout spacetime, a message to herself.

I'm just wondering if Caleb is the lead character, a vampire, from the Twilight books. I don't know as I haven't read them, nor do I wish to even see them. But, my little sister, who has gone goth as I predicted she would when she was six, is in love with the series, well okay she likes it if I'm gonna be honest about how she describes her appreciation of the series. Anyway, yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

A quick google search has disproved this theory, but I distinctly recall there being a Vampire named Caleb, somewhere.

So... does that mean we should call her the Amber? The Oncoming Pen? Doctor Amber? Is Fluffy her companion? Is her mechanical pencil actually a Sonic Pencil? Is her car actually a disguised TARDIS? Good gods, this explains everything!

Okay, I've been lurking for a while now, but I've got an idea that I HOPE is wrong...

Caleb + Vamp, to my mind = Anita Blake series by Hamilton.

If you don't know of what I speak, be thankful. The first eight or so books weren't bad, although slowly decaying. After that, it took a sharp turn to the left and in the toilet. However, it both prominently features Vampires, and has a character named Caleb that is close to the main character, who happens to be a were-leopard... which probably looks very much like Abel if one were to 'cartoon' him... and the name is similar...

It's about the only thing I can think of...

later,  when I was trying to get server space... and had uploaded three issues to show off, someone compared my art to Neko the kitty. MY ARTWORK DOES NOT LOOK LIKE NEKO THE KITTY!!! I hadn't even read NTK until that point... and I still don't see the connection.

Who was that other real-world guy early on, who served as Amber's sidekick before the TMNT doll? Was that a "Caleb?"


Also, to Amber: What sort of surface do you mouse on? It's possible that lint or what-have-you might be building up in the LED eye bit, if it doesn't like to move. If, however, the comic posed prior to this one has more accurate symptomology (it doesn't register clicking) then it may still be something to do with mouse cleanliness but I don't really know either way.

Anyway, I feel Amber's pain when it comes to technology. I've gone through, like maybe six pairs of ear/headphones, but yeah, if your mouse won't respond, then maybe it's dusty or something.

Optical mice are also affected by dust/hair, I have to occasionally blow or pick some out of the sensor to make it work more steadily. scraping crud off the glide pads also helps give smoother/easier movement (less friction). *stops to do that right now*

It makes perfect sense, as demons are kinda like vampires, and um. Kaleb has wings and so does Dan?

... it made sense to me. yes. definitely. much more likely this, then someone sending able requests and not spelling right... :3
